How does this work? It's easy!

⒈

⒋

( THE BASICS )
Name: Your character!
Canon: Self-explanatory!!
Character's (approximate) age: Or how old they appear.
Character's powers: List and describe them!
Is your character registered/will they be?: Why or why not! Maybe unsettled heroes will want to make connections with each other. Maybe registered heroes will want to team up. So on!
Where does your character live?: What housing residence are they in? Meet your roommates if you haven't already, make plans!
Are you looking for roommates?: If your character is currently housing alone, or planning to move out of their assigned housing. Is your character considering moving to one of our other cities? See who else might be doing the same!
What is your character's job?: And are they sticking with it? Enjoying it? Coordinate with potential coworkers, employers, or patrons -- why not!

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: What are they good at, what do they hate, what do they need (and so on) so that others know what they can offer you.
What are your character's plans?: Either what they're doing as we speak or what you'd like to do with them!
Does your character have a secret identity?: Since this can get confusing at times. Is your character a superhero with a public identity or do just a few people know who they are? List them, even!
Is your character open for pairings?: Useful to know! Possibly.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: If yes, how much and in what circumstances?
Is your character interested in teams?: Registered hero teams are very well-received around these parts, as you might guess. If yes, coordinate with possible teammates and see if you can put something together!
What kind of plots are you after?: Let the brainstorming commence. This can be as vague, specific, or "big picture" as you'd like.
Anything else?: If you have anything else to add!

( THE BASICS )
Name: Sinjir Rath Velus
Canon: Star Wars: Aftermath series
Character's (approximate) age: 34
Character's powers: Spider Manipulation, Sarcasm (including Vicious Mockery and Cutting Words)
Is your character registered/will they be?: Nope, nope.
Where does your character live?: Heropa #002
Are you looking for roommates?: It's government housing.
What is your character's job?: He was assigned the job of Bughandler at Heropa's Museum of Enterprising Entymologists, which he's never shown up at needless to say. He's in the process of arranging to work for Lando Calrissian's moving company.

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills:Interrogation and emotional manipulation: As part of his ISB training, he learned how to read body language, how to detect lies, how to use people against one another, how to easily provoke people, make them uncomfortable and put them off-balance. He's an expert at causing pain. Hand-to-hand combat: He's able to disarm opponents easily (even when drunk), inflicting an incapacitating amount of physical pain in the process. Basic knowledge of starship operation and navigation: although he's by no means a crack pilot.
Likes: Maintaining a low level of fuzziness with alcohol.
Dislikes: Sobriety
Urgent needs: Removing any need for urgency from his life.
What are your character's plans?: Existing, at the moment.
Does your character have a secret identity?: No
Is your character open for pairings?: As far as I'm concerned, yes. From his perspective however, he's just coming off of breaking up with his boyfriend, feeling that Conder deserves a better man than he and that he himself doesn't deserve any genuine happiness, forever destined to wallow in an alcoholic puddle of self-pity, unable to escape his past. So, on the rebound pretty much. He'd be more interested in one night stands than a relationship. Fyi, he's canonically very gay.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Hurting him is fine, just warn me. While Sinjir is no longer technically a villain, in his mind he still is, because his skill and capacity to hurt people continues, filling him with self-loathing (It's Complicated, as can be seen in the quotes below. Side note: this is why he drinks so much.)
"When I served at the pleasure of the Empire, I served as a loyalty officer, and sometimes extracting loyalty from my fellows took a bit of doing. I learned that the human body has four hundred thirty-four trigger points of pain. I know it lacks humility to say, but I actually discovered another three all by myself, although amending an Imperial training manual is like trying to move a boulder with a spoon, you know? All this is a very long road to a very simple destination: I am excellent at causing pain."

"I threaten people and make them do things. I tell them I will break their hands, kill their mothers, ruin all that they hold dear. I know how to find weakness. I know how to exploit it. And..." His voice drifts and he almost fails to summon the next part. "I think I enjoy it."

"Because history demands distasteful things be done to preserve it. Because being good sometimes means still being bad. Because it's who I am and if I didn't do it, we'd probably still be sitting here scratching ourselves wondering whatever could we do? I am here for a reason. I am a tool that fulfills a very exclusive function. What good am I if I don't fill it?"

Is your character interested in teams?: Possibly! In his canon, he was part of a ragtag group of (mostly) bounty-hunter/mercenaries, hunting down notorious Imperials for the New Republic.
What kind of plots are you after?: Right now, mostly building CR, but anything, especially any prospect of using his morally questionable skills for a good cause.
Anything else?: feel free to plurk add!

Absolutely!!

Haha yeah I love that he's so laid back and casual with her, it's pretty rare for people to actually treat Anderson like the early 20-something she is. And for sure... she downplays it but it means a lot to her, too-- comradeship was like, not a part of her life, really.

LOL YES PLEASE she will be so baffled and clueless. She's probably lived in dormatory-style housing before as a teenager but nothing like sharing a house for sure. I would love to do a house thing!

Yes good please kick his ass at every opportunity

Especially in the Costco parking lot

( THE BASICS )
Name: Hans Gruber
Canon: Die Hard
Character's (approximate) age: 40
Character's powers: Order Manipulation (basically an enhanced ability of his already-substantial powers of organization; mostly in a mental capacity, able to discern strengths and weaknesses in a variety of situations even without much prior knowledge of said situation). Enhanced Memory (the ability to recall information and events beyond what would be considered normal for most humans, such as whole pages/chapters of books, small details about people or things from just a casual observation of such), and as of 11/26/17– Bomb Transmutation (which basically is the ability to turn small ordinary objects into explosives, with the option of having them retain their original appearance.)
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yes, although not with any sincerity.
Where does your character live?: Nonah #001
Are you looking for roommates?: Roommates are the Bane of His Existence currently and he's liable to shoot the next one who shows up. So in other words, yes.
What is your character's job?: Initially, he was the Assistant Manager at the Year Round Christmas Corner, which has been hilariously abhorrent to him as one might imagine. After a power update, he discovered he had a new ability to create bombs out of merchandise in the basement stockroom, so making the best of a bad situation, he 'disposed' of the manager, took over, and is now building an illegal explosives business using the store as a front.

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?:
Skills: He's an exceptional thief. Organization, research, he's well-educated with a university degree in the Classics, calm and clear-headed under pressure. He has a lot of experience with urban guerrilla-style political activism, although he's not much of an ideologue himself, being more interested in personal gain at this point in time. He's meticulous, speaks several languages (including German, English, Ancient Greek, Latin, French), enjoys model-making.
Likes: Intelligent intriguing people, vacations on the beach, piña coladas, guns, money, a good dry cleaner, personal grooming.
Dislikes: Idiots, flies in the ointment, deviations from the plan, off-the-rack clothing.
Urgent needs: Getting a place of his own before he shoots all his roommates.
What are your character's plans?: Expand his explosives business, continue to assemble a network of like-minded criminal associates (an un-anonymous one, unlike the Constellation). In the aftermath of Dooku's downfall, he's not entirely certain he's going to stay with the Constellation, as that whole betrayal thing didn't sit well with him and he's going to try to find out the identity who's in charge now and whether they had anything to do with it.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Nope, but he's also not advertising his criminal past/skills either for the most part, staying pretty much under the radar.
Is your character open for pairings?: Sure! He'd probably be an okay boyfriend if your character is willing to overlook him being a somewhat ruthless, murderous psychopath... which he's not likely to mention anyway, so. Head-canoning him as having a preference for men.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Sure, hit me up.
Is your character interested in teams?: He's a Constellation member, so ostensibly? He's a lot more interested in himself though and he'd rather give orders than take them.
What kind of plots are you after?: Any kind of Constellation business, any kind of heist plot, slice of life is good too.
Anything else?: my plurk is

deadscorpy, add if you like!

I know Jacob and Batgirl were never exactly close during Archangel, but I'd be more than interested in picking up the pieces on that CR! Or at least picking up on whatever strings we can tug on from that. Especially now that Cass is operating as Batman, and to people who know Bruce's Batman she is... definitely, clearly not him.

I suspect Anderson here meets several criteria on the CR pings list if you'd be up for something.

i heard shit about teenagers and taking on selfish corrupt adults protected by society and im in

Sure, we can see how it goes. Anderson is pretty cognizant that her organization is grossly unethical half the time, though, hahaha, she's just coming to terms with whether she can work within that or not to achieve what she wants. Sooo might be an interesting mashup.

K2 told Anderson to talk to Padme regarding possibly using her mind-healing to help some repeat offenders get over their trauma (obviously player opt-in if we go forward with it) so I would love to set something up with them sometime. I suspect they'd get along fabulously anyway from a straight CR perspective, haha.

( THE BASICS )
Name: Max Mayfield
Canon: Stranger Things
Character's (approximate) age: 13, probably turning 14 sometime soonish?
Character's powers: Super speed while on her skateboard, enhanced balance and enhanced reflexes
Is your character registered/will they be?: She is
Where does your character live?: DeChima #6, StrangerHaus
Are you looking for roommates?: Nope
What is your character's job?: Paper delivery girl

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Skills: Max is a video game CHAMP. And a skilled skateboarder. She also excels at sarcasm.
Likes: Video games, skateboarding, reading, having super powers, being away from home, her friends and her favorite babysitter
Dislikes: Feeling left out, her stepbrother and stepdad, being called Maxine instead of Max >:[
What are your character's plans?: She really wants to utilize this whole super powers thing. AKA she wants to be a superhero. She also has ZERO desire to go home and if given the chance she's not taking it. She'd rather stay here, but she'd miss her friends a lot if they left.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Well she goes by Mad Max on the network but it's not really a secret identity.
Is your character open for pairings?: Nah, she's a kid. If Lucas Sinclair showed up, though, they had a bit of a thing starting in canon.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Sure, you can hurt her, but let's not kill her. I like having her around.
Is your character interested in teams?: She definitely is!
What kind of plots are you after?: Max is definitely in need of seeing that some adults can be trustworthy. Overall the ones in her life kind of suck. Her stepfather is abusive to her stepbrother, her stepbrother is abusive to her. At some point if she trusted someone enough to talk about some of that, it'd be good for her. Aside from THAT, superhero kinds of things. Maybe a superhero mentor?
Anything else?:

Cool! Oh, a further relevant note, while 622 grew up on stories about Jedi boogeymen, powers that look suspiciously like theirs (say, mind-reading and mental manipulation) are just being taken as "well the Porter did weird things to me too, so I can't judge."

I mean, he got in a pie fight with a literal Jedi who was openly using Force powers and he didn't notice. He is waaaay too trusting.

( THE BASICS )
Name: Iris West
Canon: DCTV
Character's (approximate) age: 26 going on 27?
Character's powers: Spontaneous caffeine generation (if it has caffeine, she can conjure it from thin air - and now I'm a little sad that I missed the opportunity to call her a "coffee conjurer") as well as omnilingualism
Is your character registered/will they be?: Yes, registered!
Where does your character live?: Heropa, in individual housing with Barry Allen
Are you looking for roommates?: not at the moment!
What is your character's job?: Staff writer for Heropa Daily (Politics / World) and owner of the O'Malley Clinic

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Florida-based reporter and owner of a healthcare clinic despite her passions lying elsewhere! Iris wants to honor both John Watson's and George O'Malley's legacies by keeping the clinic going, and ensuring that imPorts and natives alike remember just how much they wanted to help people - but she also knows, at the end of the day, that she isn't a doctor, let alone someone with scientific expertise. The workload's getting to her, and also she's got a sneaky feeling that her roommate/significant other's got a medical problem she can't fix....
What are your character's plans?: Beyond finding someone to help with the Clinic? Not much - she's always scoping the Network for a story, and she'd definitely be keen on delving deeper into the metaplot. I just haven't figured out a way for her to write about it IC just yet, though that should happen in the future.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Nope, though she's starting to wonder if she needs one
Is your character open for pairings?: Nope - she's happily taken
Are you open to having your character get hurt?: Very much so! Iris takes plenty of risks while investigating, and lbr - with the amount of stress she's carrying, she's not acting at her best either.
Is your character interested in teams?: Outside of the JL, yes! Whether it's writing stories together or just teaming up to save the day, she's your girl.
What kind of plots are you after?: Ideally, I'd like another character to help Iris manage the clinic (and thus take a lot of the stress / worry off her plate). If anyone has medically-inclined characters and/or people who are willing to learn and get $$$, hit her up ASAP. Outside of the clinic, I'd love to have her write more imPort-centric stories! She acts as Hajime's and Freya's publicist, and runs a dog instagrahm with Terry - so it's not like any of this would be brand new to her.
Anything else?:

i'm weirdly charmed by the idea of them meeting outside of a #notmybatman situation. HOW DO WE SWING THIS.

sooooo cass here had a fairly similar background to eleven and there's potential there i think? she still struggles with language too, tbh.

( THE BASICS )
Name: Lester Papadopoulos (real name: Apollo)
Canon: the Trials of Apollo
Character's (approximate) age: 4,612 (looks and acts 16)
Character's powers: Godhood for the Greater Good, Fire Immunity, and Audiokinesis
Is your character registered/will they be?: Y, registered!
Where does your character live?: Heropa #004
Are you looking for roommates?: Not actively, but there are 3 slots open!
What is your character's job?: Music Instructor at Always B♮.

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Greek god turned mortal, Lester just wants to finish his dang quest and get his godly powers back. At the same time, he's learning just what it means to be human (and he can't say he minds most of it). Given who he was, and the kinds of atrocities he committed as a god, he shouldn't get off easy - but he's certainly not the worst god to encounter. It's like Magnus says, "he just won't pay me back for movie tickets." He heavily, heavily relies on the goodwill of others, given that he's on a quest, but he's also learning the meaning of "pay it forward" too.
What are your character's plans?: Right now, to settle in and get into a routine. As far as I know, he's the only PJO that doesn't live in De Chima or Fauxhalla, which means that he could be convinced into moving and/or putting down his roots elsewhere. He'd also like a job that doesn't involve breaking his vow to the River Styx, but you know - finding work is also more work, so if someone could hand him a job, that'd be great too.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Kind of! He is the Greek god Apollo, but he's trying to keep that quiet since people who address him as Apollo are either out to get him or out to make fun of him.
Is your character open for pairings?: YES. Lester's current predicament means that he gets easily flustered, and since he thinks so little of his current form, it would astonish him if anyone saw him like he was now and think "yeah sure he's cute, I'd totally date him." Given that he's both too old and too young for some characters, let's hash this out if it goes further but also he will (and can) love anything that moves.
Are you open to having your character get hurt?: Yeah, sure - talk to me about the details, but I'm always down to have Lester learn more about what it's like to be human.
Is your character interested in teams?: Sure!
What kind of plots are you after?: Since anything and everything is too broad: more light-hearted and/or action-y plots. Lester uses a combat ukulele rather than his bow and arrows (unless necessary) - and while he may not have the strength he used to, he certainly has the knowledge and experience of a centuries-old god. He could definitely mentor people and/or teach them from his domains - music, archery, truth (and law by extension), and technically, driving. He DID drive the sun chariot every single day!!
Anything else?: Nope, I'm just here to have a good time B)

Just FYI, Iris will be desperate enough to ask this month if Will would like to make some bank and get bumped up to a part-time healer!!

Also, sorry not sorry that Lester will probably drop by and visit, only to be scared off by the owner forever and ever. :')

that block of de chima government housing is the gothest place on earth

he's in the market for so much murder

Probably won't be able to perform the Sacrament while he's under probation through April-May, but it depends on who he gets to supervise him...

I really want to follow up on Lester writing Beth a song, and then accidentally revealing that he's actually the Best Archer Ever and an ace swordsman and probably a lot more skilled than the average 16 year old should rightfully be....

But also: I'm always down for texting threads. Lester also is probably a loyal subscriber to her Bluetube channel, and "anonymously" requesting all these sun-themed songs for her to sing :>

Hiiiii would you like another thread with Haen and Angus at the Center?

Does Arthur take payments for mind crime in courteously-written IOUs and/or favours?

Dooku would very much like to aim a mind crime at the people who did a mind crime to him, but he's also broke as shit right now
